Have you ever noticed how success often comes packaged with unwelcome companions like anxiety, burnout, and that persistent feeling of never being enough? In this enlightening episode, I sit down with mindset coach Oli Cook to unpack how entrepreneurs can achieve real success without these debilitating side effects.
Oli brings a unique perspective as both a skilled coach and someone who's personally battled lifelong anxiety. He shares his powerful "Rapid Root Level Shifts" method that helps dissolve the subconscious fears and inner blocks preventing entrepreneurs from scaling their businesses while maintaining their wellbeing. What makes Oli's approach so refreshing is his focus on "adjusting the inner dials" rather than pushing through with sheer willpower or hustle.
We dive deep into the problematic nature of hustle culture and how the entrepreneurial world often sets unrealistic expectations that leave business owners feeling perpetually behind. Oli offers a profound reframe: success isn't something you chase but a state of mind you can cultivate right now, even while pursuing ambitious goals. This shift alone can transform your entrepreneurial journey from one of constant striving to one of strategic growth and genuine fulfillment.
The conversation takes a practical turn as Oli shares specific techniques for managing fear (by staying "one step ahead with your mind"), tackling overwhelm (by identifying the single most important task), and celebrating wins (to break the "never enough" cycle). These aren't just theories, they're battle-tested approaches that have helped countless entrepreneurs transform their relationship with their business.
Whether you're struggling with scaling anxiety, decision paralysis, or the weight of entrepreneurial pressure, this episode offers both validation and actionable solutions. Connect with Oli at olicookecoaching.com or on Instagram @olicooke.coaching to continue your journey toward success without the side effects.

Have you ever felt stuck following business advice that just doesn't seem to work for you? In this refreshingly honest conversation, marketing veteran Elaine Walsh-McGrath reveals her journey from conventional success to creating a business that truly aligns with her unique circumstances and strengths.
Elaine, who describes herself as a "Formula One marketing mechanic," spent decades working with major brands like L'Oreal, Volkswagen, and Ryanair before life circumstances forced her to reimagine her business. When her daughter was born with Down syndrome and complex needs, her high-powered consultancy became incompatible with her new reality. What followed was years of trying business models that worked brilliantly for others but left her drained and frustrated.
The breakthrough came when Elaine began trusting her own intuition rather than outside advice. By understanding her unique energy patterns and strengths, she made the counterintuitive discovery that doing less actually led to greater business growth. "The more I kept saying simplify to myself, the more I thought, wow, I have created this empire, but maybe it's not serving me and my needs for a business right now," Elaine explains.
This episode goes beyond typical business advice to explore deeper questions about alignment, authentic success, and creating boundaries that honor your whole life. You'll learn why cookie-cutter business formulas often fail, how to recognize when something isn't energetically aligned with you, and why summer might be the perfect time to reassess what's truly working in your business.
Whether you're struggling with burnout, feeling pressured to follow someone else's blueprint for success, or simply seeking a more sustainable approach to business, this conversation offers both permission and practical wisdom to create success on your own terms. Remember: your business, your rules.

What's really holding you back from starting that podcast? Fear of technology? Dislike of your own voice? Or the perennial excuse of "not enough time"? In this candid exploration, I dismantle these common barriers one by one, revealing the simple truths that can set your podcasting journey in motion.
The time commitment for podcasting isn't as daunting as you might think. At roughly three hours per episode, the process can be streamlined through batching and strategic scheduling. You don't need to commit to the weekly publishing grind either, seasonal approaches can be just as effective while fitting into your existing commitments. The question becomes not whether you have time, but whether you can afford not to use podcasting as a tool for audience building and business growth.
That discomfort with your recorded voice? It's nearly universal, but remember: your unique vocal qualities are precisely what some listeners will connect with. The podcasting world thrives on authentic voices representing diverse experiences. And as for technology fears, the only real difference between "techie" people and everyone else is the willingness to experiment and learn from mistakes. Most podcast platforms provide clear, step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow.
What truly matters isn't technical prowess or a perfect voice, but clarity about your purpose and message. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, technically adept or challenged, your expertise deserves to be shared. The world needs your perspective, and keeping that knowledge to yourself when others could benefit is, as I often tell my clients, "a little bit selfish." Ready to overcome these mindset blocks? Your future audience is waiting and my self-study program (currently available at a special discount USE CODE: SS150) can guide you through every step of the journey. The time to start is now.

Have you ever felt trapped in an endless cycle of reaction, constantly putting out fires, managing an overflowing to-do list, and feeling perpetually behind? What if there was another way to live?
Master coach Jocelyn Herman-Saccio joins us to reveal the transformative power of being "unmessable with" a mindset and practice that allows you to shift from survival mode to creation mode at will. With over 47 years in the transformative space and experience coaching more than 200,000 people, Jocelyn brings profound wisdom to this conversation about designing a life driven by vision rather than circumstance.
The difference between reaction and creation is stark: one leads to burnout and overwhelm, the other to magic and fulfilment. Jocelyn breaks down how most of us get trapped in managing our lives instead of creating them, explaining that it's not external events that mess with us, but our beliefs about how things "should" be. Through powerful examples and practical strategies, she demonstrates how to dismantle limiting beliefs and design life from the future backward rather than from the present forward.
Perhaps most compelling is Jocelyn's personal journey, how she transformed from working 80 hours weekly while dreaming of Paris "someday" to actually living there half the year while working just 10-15 hours weekly and exponentially increasing her income. Her approach isn't about hustling harder but about strengthening your relationship with your word and creating from vision.
Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling imprisoned by your business or simply someone seeking more freedom and fulfilment, this episode offers concrete steps to become unmessable with. Discover how to craft daily practices that keep you grounded in vision, overcome imposter syndrome, and design a life where you're living your dreams rather than eternally chasing them.

Ever found yourself saying, “I’ll start my podcast when I’m ready”? We’re halfway through 2025 now, and if that January goal is still sitting on your to-do list, don’t worry, it’s not too late.
The middle of the year is the perfect time to pause, reflect on your business goals, and decide what’s still possible. In this honest chat, I dive into why so many business owners put off launching their podcast. Whether it’s fear of getting it wrong, perfectionism, or just sheer decision fatigue, recognising what’s holding you back is the first step to moving forward.
Here’s the truth: feeling “ready” doesn’t just happen. Readiness comes from taking action. Think about other things you’ve tackled in your business, you didn’t wait until you had it all figured out. You started, learned as you went, and got better. Podcasting is no different.
Having your own podcast gives you something social media can’t a consistent, personal connection with your audience on a platform you actually own. When people can hear your voice week after week, you’re building trust in a way that doesn’t rely on algorithms. And with buyers needing around 21 touchpoints before they take action, that kind of connection is priceless.
I also talk about how using an all-in-one platform like FEA Create can make the tech side of things far less overwhelming. And if tech feels like a sticking point for you, getting support with the setup could be a game changer.
If you’re wondering whether podcasting is the right move for you, come along to my Podcast Clarity Workshop on 30th June. We’ll work through a simple process to help you get to either a confident “yes” or a clear “no” both are powerful outcomes that bring clarity to your next steps.
Imagine having your podcast up and running before Christmas. What would it mean for your business to head into 2026 with your voice already out there, building momentum? Now’s the time to find out.

• Visual podcasting is growing, but traditional audio podcasts still maintain distinct advantages
• AI tools now make podcast production significantly faster and easier
• The psychological impact of voice creates uniquely intimate connections with listeners
• Micro-audiences and niche storytelling can be more valuable than pursuing mass appeal

Ever felt like your voice doesn't matter? That's exactly where Donna Eade started before launching her podcast five years ago. Now celebrating this milestone, Donna sits down with Catherine Chapman to reveal the transformative journey that turned a childhood "chatterbox" into a podcast host who connects with listeners worldwide each week.
Donna's candid conversation takes us back to April 2020 when, despite questionable timing, she launched a podcast for wedding vendors that received just 10 downloads in its first month. Fast forward to today, and she's created a thriving platform where entrepreneurs find guidance on mindset and business strategy. Her story isn't just inspiring—it's filled with practical wisdom for anyone considering podcasting as their content pillar.
What makes podcasting so powerful? "How many people would you let whisper in your ear?" Donna asks, illustrating the uniquely intimate connection podcasters forge with their audience. This relationship builds trust that's difficult to establish through other media, with 75% of listeners more likely to purchase from podcast hosts than from television personalities. For business owners seeking deeper connections with potential clients, this insight alone is worth its weight in gold.
The conversation demystifies the podcasting process with refreshingly straightforward advice: don't overcomplicate it, be clear about your audience, and understand your purpose. Whether you're tech-savvy or technologically challenged, Donna's three-step approach makes launching a podcast feel achievable rather than overwhelming. Her launch strategy—particularly the "Netflix approach" of releasing multiple episodes simultaneously—offers a blueprint for creating momentum and building a loyal audience from day one.
Ready to amplify your voice and grow your business through the power of podcasting? This episode delivers both the inspiration and practical tools to get started. Listen now to discover how speaking your truth can transform not just your business, but your relationship with yourself and your audience.

What happens when you build a massive social media following only to discover they're not your ideal clients? Marketing expert Janine Coney reveals her unexpected journey from Instagram influencer to successful business coach on this episode of the Mindset in Action podcast.
After amassing an enviable Instagram following (beyond that coveted 10K mark), Janine made a startling discovery: her impressive audience wasn't translating into paying clients. Despite receiving free products and event invitations, she wasn't leveraging her true zone of genius in marketing and branding. This disconnect forced a pivotal decision that would transform her business approach entirely.
With refreshing honesty, Janine shares the challenges of pivoting away from an established audience to rebuild one aligned with her business goals. She offers practical strategies for entrepreneurs looking to build quality followers rather than simply chasing numbers. From selecting the right platforms where your ideal clients actually spend time to creating content that resonates with them, her advice cuts through typical social media myths.
"People connect with people, and you need to make sure that you are as authentic as you can be," Janine emphasizes, warning against blending in with trending language or approaches that don't reflect your true self. Her three-point action plan provides immediate steps to review your social presence, establish consistency, and craft compelling bios that speak directly to client needs.
Whether you're just starting your audience-building journey or wondering why your large following isn't converting to sales, this conversation offers invaluable insights into creating a social media presence that attracts the right people—those who will actually buy from you, not just follow you. Listen now to transform your approach to audience building and stop wasting time on followers who'll never become clients.

Ever wondered how the world's most efficient entrepreneurs are leveraging artificial intelligence? In this illuminating episode captured live at the Mindset in Action event, web design veteran Cheryl Laidlaw reveals the transformative potential of AI for small business productivity.
The conversation quickly dispels the common misconception that AI is simply ChatGPT. Cheryl, who's been building websites for 22 years, initially feared AI might take her job – then made the strategic decision to master it instead. Her candid assessment? While reports suggest AI saves business owners 30% of their time, she's actually doubled her business capacity through strategic implementation.
We explore the remarkable difference between free and paid AI services, with Cheryl detailing how she's created approximately 20 specialised AI "assistants" for different business functions. The results are astonishing – tasks that once consumed hours now take seconds. Her proposal process exemplifies this efficiency: recording client discovery calls, feeding the transcript into her custom AI assistant, and generating comprehensive proposals instantly.
The episode doesn't shy away from important considerations. Cheryl addresses sustainability concerns (every five AI prompts uses roughly the same energy as boiling a kettle), privacy implications when handling client data, and the embarrassing pitfall of publishing obviously AI-generated content without personalisation. Her practical advice emphasises that AI should complement your business toolkit, not replace your unique voice and expertise.
Ready to transform your relationship with technology and reclaim hours in your week? This episode is your practical roadmap.

Your Health Matters More Than Your Business Ever Will
Freedom isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation of a sustainable business. Andrea Rainsford's journey from corporate burnout to entrepreneurial success offers a masterclass in creating a business that serves your life rather than consuming it.
After collapsing during a business pitch and later suffering a devastating stroke at just 32 years old, Andrea spent five years confined to a hospital bed in her front room, unable to walk, speak, or care for herself. This profound health crisis transformed her approach to business completely. "I did have a stroke. But 18 months ago I found a tumor in my throat and I looked at the ceiling and went 'are you having a laugh?'" she shares with raw honesty.
What emerged from these challenges was a revolutionary approach to business planning. Andrea now operates a thriving business working just two and a half days per week and is transitioning to working only three days per month with her innovative "Haven" business model. Her Women Winning in Business community has grown from 200 to 2,500 members in 18 months, expanding to 15 cities across the UK—all without the conventional hustle mentality.
The most powerful insight from Andrea's story is that success doesn't require sacrificing your health or happiness. "My body is the most important thing to me and that's the reason why I only work two and a half days," she explains. Her approach challenges entrepreneurs to stop comparing themselves to others and instead build businesses that reflect their true priorities.
What would your life and business look like if you truly prioritised freedom? Listen now to reimagine what's possible.

Ready to transform your relationship with imposter syndrome? Donna Eade welcomes Nicola Tonsaga, founder of Soul Signatures, for a refreshingly honest conversation about the self-doubt that plagues entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey.
Nicola immediately normalises this experience, explaining that imposter syndrome isn't a sign of weakness but a natural response when we step outside our comfort zones. The transformative shift happens when we move from seeking external validation to cultivating self-worth from within. This inner authority allows us to reframe our narrative from "Who am I to do this?" to "Who am I NOT to do this?"
The conversation delves into how comparison, particularly on social media, fuels our feelings of inadequacy. Nicola shares her own struggle with trying to follow marketing methods that didn't align with her authentic self, highlighting the freedom that comes when you embrace "your business, your rules." This becomes a powerful antidote to the comparisonitis that keeps so many entrepreneurs stuck in doubt.
Perhaps most profound is Nicola's distinction between mindset and embodied belief. While mindset represents our mental stories, true belief resides in the body—you feel it through every fiber of your being. This embodied conviction becomes unshakable, carrying you through challenges regardless of circumstances. For those currently wrestling with imposter syndrome, Nicola offers this transformative advice: get out of your mind and into your body.
Tune in to discover why persistent imposter syndrome might actually be signaling misalignment with your true path, and how growth isn't a linear destination but an ongoing journey of unfolding potential.
Nicola Tonsager is the author of Being Soul Confident and host of the Being Soul Confident Podcast.

What if the key to business growth isn't hustling harder but designing a business that works with your natural strengths? Money mindset mentor Denise Duffield-Thomas introduces us to "the chustle" – a chilled approach to hustle that creates success without burnout.
Denise reveals how she's built a multi-million dollar business with a surprisingly lean team structure – no full-time employees and minimal management headaches. She challenges the entrepreneurial obsession with arbitrary financial benchmarks, encouraging listeners to define success on their own terms rather than chasing someone else's definition of achievement.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Denise unpacks the psychology behind passive income guilt. She shares her personal struggle with feeling undeserving of earnings from her first ebook, explaining how this mindset block stems from our conditioning about the relationship between work and compensation. For entrepreneurs who find themselves sabotaging their passive income streams, her insights offer a path to greater acceptance and profitability.
Perhaps most refreshingly, Denise outlines her remarkably simple business framework: showing up daily on social media (through batched content), providing value weekly (via her podcast), and offering something to purchase monthly or quarterly. This streamlined approach maintains consistency without the exhaustion that comes from constantly creating new content.
Whether you're building your first business or looking to scale an existing one more sustainably, Denise's practical wisdom offers an alternative to burnout culture. Success doesn't require sacrificing your wellbeing or conforming to someone else's business model – it comes from aligning your business with your authentic self and focusing on what truly moves the needle. Ready to chill and prosper? This episode shows you how.

Five years and 304 episodes later, we're celebrating a milestone that puts us in the top 1% of podcasts. What began as the Society of Professional Wedding Vendors podcast has evolved into Mindset & Action, helping entrepreneurs build and streamline their businesses through productivity, audience building, planning, and mindset strategies.
The journey hasn't been without challenges. From recording episodes the night before release (like this one!) to navigating the pandemic's impact on my original business model, podcasting has taught me invaluable lessons about consistency, audience connection, and content creation. Perhaps most surprisingly, my interview with Amy Porterfield—while personally thrilling—wasn't my most downloaded episode. That honor goes to Diane Watson's discussion on money mindset, proving that content relevance trumps celebrity status every time.
Beyond business growth, this podcasting journey has transformed me personally. I've evolved from a people-pleaser who followed the crowd to someone confident enough to plant my flag and advocate for following your unique path in business. The weekly commitment to share my thoughts has clarified my perspective and strengthened my voice in ways I never anticipated.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to refocus on practical applications of our four pillars, featuring both experts and successful entrepreneurs who implement these strategies in their daily operations. And for those wondering—yes, I have an exciting new podcast launch program coming soon! Join the Pod Squad at donnaeade.com/blog to be first to hear the details.
As we celebrate this milestone, I'd be incredibly grateful if you'd share the podcast with a friend or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Your support has made these five years possible, and I can't wait to bring you even more valuable content in the years ahead.

Ever found yourself scrolling through social media, feeling increasingly inadequate as you see other entrepreneurs seemingly crushing it while you're struggling with basic tasks? That comparison trap is exactly what we're tackling head-on today.
The concept of "staying in your own lane" might sound simple, but it's a discipline I personally struggle with daily. Throughout this episode, I share my raw experience organizing my first in-person event and how comparison nearly derailed the entire process. When we measure our beginning against someone else's middle, we set ourselves up for unnecessary discouragement.
What makes this comparison particularly toxic is that we're rarely comparing equivalent situations. That entrepreneur with the massive audience? They've been at it for years. The business owner with the seamless systems? They've likely failed their way to that success through countless iterations. As I explain, "Don't compare your chapter two to somebody's chapter twenty" – the numbers might change, but the principle remains the same.
Social media compounds this problem by showing only curated highlight reels. As I describe it, many seemingly successful entrepreneurs are "paddling like absolute lunatics under that still sea of calm." Without seeing the behind-the-scenes reality, we compare our complete picture against someone else's carefully filtered presentation.
The solution? Practical steps to refocus on your journey: limit social media consumption, unfollow those who trigger comparison, measure progress against your starting point, celebrate small wins, and create plans aligned with your unique vision. Your business journey is yours alone – embrace it rather than trying to recreate someone else's path.
Take a moment to reflect on your recent wins, and if you're feeling brave, share them with me on LinkedIn or in my Facebook group. Your progress deserves celebration, no matter how small it might seem compared to others.

Ever feel like your business is drowning in a sea of software subscriptions? You're not alone. I've been there - desperately trying to keep track of payments going out at different times, juggling multiple logins, and feeling overwhelmed by the growing tech stack needed to run my business effectively.
What started as innocently adding tools one by one quickly spiraled into a costly, time-consuming mess. An email service provider here, a funnel system there, website hosting, course platforms, CRM software, social media schedulers - each solving one problem but collectively creating a bigger one. The financial drain was just the beginning; the mental overhead of managing all these disconnected systems was stealing my focus from what really mattered.
Three years ago, I discovered a solution that transformed my business operations. By consolidating nearly everything into one comprehensive platform, I've dramatically simplified my processes, reduced my monthly software expenses from three figures to two, and gained access to tools I previously couldn't afford. Now, instead of managing a dozen different systems, I run my entire business through just four essential tools - and the difference in my productivity and peace of mind has been profound.
The beauty of streamlining isn't just about saving money; it's about reclaiming your time and mental energy. When your client information, communication history, and business functions live under one roof, everything flows more smoothly. No more hunting through different platforms for information or trying to remember where you stored that important note about a client. Whether you're just starting your business journey or looking to simplify an established operation, there's tremendous power in asking: "Do I really need all these separate tools, or is there a better way?" Your future self will thank you for the clarity and focus that comes from intentional simplification.
Ready to declutter your digital business life? I'd love to hear what systems you're using and how you might streamline them. Share your thoughts or questions, and let's contin

When my hair started falling out at 18, revealing a smooth bald patch the size of a 50-pence coin, I was completely devastated. Hair isn't just an accessory – for many of us, it's deeply connected to our identity and self-worth. After two decades living with alopecia areata, learning to conceal patches and fearing each episode might be the one where it all falls out, I've developed a unique empathy for those experiencing hair loss.
This episode marks the 300th milestone of Mindset & Action, but instead of business strategy, I'm participating in Podcasthon – a special week where podcasters highlight charities close to their hearts. For me, it's the Little Princess Trust, an extraordinary organization creating real hair wigs for children who've lost their hair during cancer treatment or from conditions like alopecia.
My journey took an unexpected turn in 2021 when I finally worked up the courage to cut my hip-length auburn locks into a bob, donating 16-20 inches. What many people don't realise is that while the Little Princess Trust accepts donations as short as 7 inches, they desperately need longer donations (over 11 inches) to create the flowing styles many little girls dream of. Through my business network's support, what began as a personal hair donation transformed into a £1,400 fundraiser benefiting three cancer charities.
Have you considered donating your hair? The requirements are simple: at least 7 inches, natural hair color (with limited grey), and no bright dyes. After four years, my hair has grown back to my waist – proof that sometimes our greatest gift is something we can regrow. If you're contemplating a significant haircut, consider how your locks might give a child facing illness the confidence to face the world again.

Approaching five years of podcasting is no small feat, and as we draw near to this milestone on April 16th, I can't help but reflect on the journey of the Mindset in Action podcast. This solo episode is brimming with personal updates, from my revamped office space to heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Together, let's celebrate the perseverance required in a world where many podcasts fade after just a few episodes. Catch up on last week's enlightening conversation with Kam, who offered invaluable accounting tips for businesses. Plus, hear about plans for an exciting in-person event to mark our anniversary.
This episode also dives into the crucial topic of boundaries, both in business and personal life. Drawing from my own experiences and insights from thought leaders like Amy Porterfield, I share the importance of stepping back when needed. Entrepreneurship offers a unique flexibility that can be harnessed to prioritise personal well-being, and I'm reminded by my business bestie, Carly Wall, that pacing ourselves is perfectly okay. A session with Jenni Donato also brought fresh perspectives, highlighting how self-reflection and external input can create much-needed clarity. Let's embark on another year of growth and transformation, embracing these lessons along the way.
I've yet to get Jenni on the podcast but here is the episode I did on her podcast last year LISTEN

Can you imagine juggling multiple roles while trying to follow your passion? This episode uncovers my personal journey as I navigated the end of the third quarter of 2024 at Mapcast Media. Despite facing the time crunch that halted the launch of a new website, successfully promoting the "Start Your Podcast" program around the holiday season was a big win. I also share the unique challenge and necessity of taking on a 15-hour-a-week marketing role to diversify revenue streams, and how this impacted my focus on other projects.
Big changes are on the horizon as I restructure my business, phasing out one-on-one client work and editing services to focus on amplifying voices through podcasts. Discover the introduction of two innovative offerings: a VIP day dedicated to intensive podcast planning and an extensive eight-week support program. Looking forward, I outline plans for a brief rest period in October and November and set the stage for an exciting new program launch in January. Amidst these transitions, the importance of maintaining physical well-being remains a top priority. Tune in for an intimate reflection on balancing growth, stability, and well-being.

Ever felt like your mental health was holding your business back? At 16, I was diagnosed with depression, and my journey through the tumultuous waters of mental health has significantly shaped my career as a solopreneur. My late teens and twenties were marked by the challenges of dealing with a manipulative 'friend', early motherhood, and more. This episode is a raw and honest reflection on how mental health impacts not just personal life but business productivity too.
Fast forward to the COVID-19 pandemic, where lockdown in March 2020 brought an unexpected relief from anxiety. Initially, the reduced social interactions allowed me to come off antidepressants and find comfort within my home. But as society began to reopen, new challenges emerged, leading to a noticeable decline in my mental well-being. Consulting with a nurse led to exploring options like HRT due to perimenopausal symptoms.
Prioritising mental health and self-care isn't always easy, especially when you're struggling. I discuss the choices I've made, such as prioritising health tests over luxuries like holidays, and how physical health is deeply interconnected with mental well-being. This episode underscores the importance of talking about mental health, seeking help when needed, and the value of a supportive community. I invite you to join a smaller, more intimate group where we can share personal moments and support each other on this journey. Thank you for listening, and I look forward to reconnecting with you next week.

I'm lifting the veil on a potentially game-changing shift in the social media landscape: Instagram's experimentation with paid verification tiers. If you're an entrepreneur or an avid social media user, you're likely pondering how such a move could alter the very fabric of online engagement. Tune in to the latest Mindset & Action podcast episode, where I dissect this development's possible repercussions on organic reach and the core principles that have long-defined platforms like Instagram. Beyond my own contemplations of parting ways with the photo-sharing giant, I delve into the broader implications for strategic social media use, the underestimated might of Facebook groups, and why LinkedIn might just be the new go-to for B2B connections.
The digital world can be as unpredictable as the weather, and having an exit strategy is more important than ever. In this episode, we touch on the topic of safeguarding your community against the tempestuous seas of social media's changing tides. Discover why nurturing an email list could be your life raft, and why diversifying with tools like podcasting can anchor your connection to your audience. Whether you're seeking a fresh approach to reach your community or simply intrigued by the evolving digital sphere, this conversation is tailored to help you stay afloat and thrive.

Have you ever caught yourself undermining your own success, almost as though you're fighting against your own best interests? We've all been there, and that's precisely why Vivienne Joy joined me to unravel the complexities of self-sabotage in our Mindset Monday segment. This isn't your run-of-the-mill pep talk about overcoming your inner critic. Viv, with her brilliant mind, helps us reframe the typical "why" into a more insightful "what" – what's behind our tendency to be our own worst enemy, and what hidden need for safety are we trying to satisfy?
During our heart-to-heart, I confess my own struggles with deciding the direction of my podcast – a real-life tale of self-sabotage in action. Viv's perspective is enlightening, as she elaborates on how our self-perception often falls short of the high regard others hold us in. If you've ever battled with the notion that tooting your own horn is somehow wrong, this episode is a must-listen. We tackle these internal battles head-on, offering new viewpoints on self-worth and strategies to steer through the treacherous currents of self-inflicted roadblocks. Join us for an episode that's as much a cosy chat as it is a transformative discussion, and walk away with a fresh outlook on confronting the self-saboteur within.

Embarking on the digital journey, Jude Wharton of Ready Steady Websites graces us with the story of her and Chris's 14-year-strong partnership, a beacon for solopreneurs seeking to carve their own space online. Together, they've evolved from a boutique agency into a powerhouse that equips clients with self-manageable, high-quality websites. In this episode, Jude unravels the tapestry of website significance in today's social media-saturated landscape and debates the enduring need for a dedicated online presence.
Our discussion takes a turn through the maze of business website design, highlighting the metamorphosis from early online chaos to the current clean and user-friendly interfaces we've grown to love—and sometimes find too bare. We dissect the importance of striking the perfect balance in design to captivate potential clients without overwhelming them with unnecessary fluff or leaving them craving more substance. Jude and I analyse the art of structuring content that resonates, the magnetic pull of an engaging 'about page,' and the subtle choreography of call-to-action placements that guide visitors through the virtual corridors of your online domain.
As we close, we don't shy away from the nitty-gritty of website speed and why optimising for those precious loading seconds can make or break the user experience. Jude shares invaluable insights on creating content that not only engages but establishes you as the go-to sage in your field. I leave you with a reminder to connect with Jude for more wisdom, and to stay tuned for the upcoming jolt of inspiration in next week's Mini Mindset Monday with the fabulous Viv. So, listeners, brace yourselves for the actionable insights that could revolutionize your online presence.

As someone who's often influenced by the whirlwind of external factors, I've come to recognise the pivotal role our core values play in keeping us anchored. Today, I'm peeling back the layers of my journey as a self-proclaimed external-driven personality, while also tipping my hat to the intriguing world of human design—generator style. You're invited to join me as I reflect on the ways external noise can cloud our judgment and the transformative power of pausing to align with what's truly meaningful.
In the throes of a launch, it's easy to let the emotional tides take hold, but I'm here to share why it's essential to steer clear of those knee-jerk reactions. Whether you're riding high on success or navigating through choppy waters, sticking to the course set by your values is key. Without Viv's vivacious presence this week, I aim to shed light on how keeping the essence of freedom, integrity, and inner peace at the forefront can lead to more authentic and effective decisions.

Ever felt like invisible barriers are holding you back in business? I had the pleasure of welcoming back the brilliant Vivienne Joy, who shed light on the pervasive issue of mindset blocks. Together, we tackled the deceiving 'presenting problem' that many entrepreneurs mistake for their main obstacle, when in fact, the root causes—like self-worth or money mindset—are often hidden deeper. Vivian shared her insights into identifying these under-the-surface issues, paving the way for us to discuss her transformative coaching strategies that can propel any business owner forward.
This Mindset Monday, we didn't just skim the surface; we dissected the language and behaviours that reveal why we resist certain tasks. Viv broke it down into fear, lack of skill, or lack of value, and offered actionable advice to help us move past these sticking points. She even let us into her own world, sharing a personal struggle with blogging that many of us can relate to. By the end of our chat, it was clear that understanding whether we're stuck in freeze, fight, or flight mode is crucial, and Viv's approach could be the catalyst you need to ignite your full potential and drive business growth.

Discover the unfiltered truth about podcasting as I, Donna Eade, take you behind the scenes of the Mindset in Action podcast. If you're considering adding podcasting to your business repertoire, or you're simply curious about the medium, this episode lays bare the challenges and successes you can expect. From understanding why so many podcasters throw in the towel after a mere few episodes to recognizing the personal markers of success that will keep you motivated, we cover it all. Plus, you'll learn about the Mic Action Podcast, a new project designed to guide you through the podcasting process step by step, and how you can join our exclusive cohorts of the Start Your Podcast program.
Podcasting isn't just about hitting record; it's an art form that hinges on authenticity. In this episode, I reveal how scripting affects your show's connection with listeners and why a conversational tone can be your greatest asset. For all the entrepreneurs out there, I'll unveil my blueprint for an efficient production process that harmonizes with your busy lifestyle. And for those who fancy the audio realm due to its low-key nature—yes, even nudists—you'll appreciate the freedom podcasting grants from the visual demands of video content.
Ending on a dynamic note, I contrast the indie podcasting journey with the glossy tracks laid out by big-budget productions. While sharing my own inspirations, like podcasting powerhouse Amy Porterfield, I underscore the unique opportunities that arise from having your own platform, including unforgettable interviews and deep industry connections. And just for fun, I answer some quickfire questions, giving you a personal peek at the podcast favourites that have shaped my approach to creating meaningful audio experiences. Tune in for a candid and comprehensive guide to mastering the podcasting world.

We're tackling the tough questions about internal roadblocks, understanding the fine line between excuses and legitimate fears, and how our minds often cling to safety nets. With a candid look at how our earliest experiences shape our adult narratives, this episode invites you to a deeper understanding of the psyche – a crucial step for anyone at the helm of a business venture.
As we wrap up, the spotlight turns to the importance of aligning with the right tribe in business. The company you keep can either anchor you to the harbour or sail you towards success. I share why intuition is your best ally in discerning genuine, value-aligned connections from those merely chasing the next sale. And remember, to keep your entrepreneurial ship on course, it's not just about who you know – it's about who you grow with. Don't miss out, subscribe for a front-row seat to an empowerment odyssey with Vivienne Joy and me, as we equip you with the mindset arsenal to conquer both personal and professional spheres.

Wave goodbye to dependency on social media giants and hello to empowerment in your digital strategy! Join me, Donna Eade, as I openly dissect my decision to break up with Instagram and the profound influence these platforms exert on our businesses and personal lives. This episode peels back the glossy veneer to reveal the stark reality: Facebook and Instagram aren't just silent bystanders in our online experience; they're savvy enterprises with motives that often involve manipulating our psychology to their advantage. I delve into the critical need to diversify our online presence, sharing my personal wake-up call that came after witnessing the limits of growth on Instagram despite intensive efforts. It's time to reclaim control and focus on building assets like email lists that truly belong to us.
Transitioning to the business realm, I recount my real-world adventure pivoting towards LinkedIn for more potent B2B connections. I narrate the tale of an Instagram ad campaign that, while successful in generating leads, paled in comparison to the potential of LinkedIn's professional network. Hear how a single week on LinkedIn overshadowed a year's effort on Instagram, a testament to the untapped value waiting in the right online spaces. I invite you to join the narrative and become part of a community that prioritizes meaningful engagement and authentic growth. So, let's step into a space where we tackle the digital world head-on, armed with insights and a readiness to put action behind our mindset.

Grab your favorite mug and pour yourself some comfort, because this week's episode of Mindset Mini is a solo journey with a touch of vulnerability. No guests, just me, Donna Eade, and a candid conversation about the less glamorous side of entrepreneurship. We've all been there, facing a week where motivation is as elusive as a sunny day in winter, and I'm no exception. Navigating through this rough patch, I'll be opening up about the impact of personal routines, unexpected obligations, and those energy-draining moments that entrepreneurs know all too well.
This heart-to-heart is not about wallowing in the tough times; it’s about finding solidarity in our shared experiences. I intend to discuss the potential reasons for this low, and the pressures that come with 'peopleing'—that's right, even you extroverts among us need a breather sometimes. By the end of our chat, the objective is clear: to leave you feeling less isolated in your entrepreneurial journey and to arm you with the understanding that it’s okay to have these ebbs and flows. So take a sip, settle in, and let’s connect through the real, raw, and sometimes ugly truths of running your own business.

Ever felt like you're running in a hamster wheel, chasing that illustrious '10K month' as an entrepreneur? I've been there, and I'm here to share my evolution from a photography business owner to an online entrepreneur, along with the hard-learned lessons about the pitfalls of fixating on such financial milestones. The entrepreneurial roller coaster is full of ups and downs, but what really defines success and personal freedom? We're stripping back the curtain on the narratives spun by heavy hitters like Amy Porterfield, and questioning whether these income benchmarks are truly what we should be aiming for, or if they’re merely shiny distractions from our genuine aspirations.
This conversation isn't just about questioning norms; it's a heartfelt look at aligning our business ambitions with our deepest values. Next week, we'll welcome money coach Sarah Brill to the table, but before we do, let's talk about finding that sweet spot where work doesn't feel like a slog and life is more than just a series of tasks. From Vanessa Lau's cautionary tales to Amy Portfield's challenges, we'll examine the tightrope walk between business growth and personal well-being. Join me for a reflective journey that might just change your approach to your own entrepreneurial dreams, steering you towards a vision of success that's tailor-made for you.

Feeling the pressure to pinpoint that one thing that sets you apart in the business world? Let's strip away that stress as I dismantle the myth of the elaborate unique selling point. This Mindset and Action podcast episode prompted by a live I watched with business coach Rachel Bloomfield, is a sanctuary for entrepreneurs who've been caught in the snare of "what makes you different?" We're here to affirm that the answer is simpler than you've been led to believe and it's rooted in the very essence of who you are.
This thought-provoking mini-mindset episode is not your typical business advice spiel. It's an intimate look at the concept of 'slow business' and 'soft ambition,' inviting you to seek the unique flavours within your own approach to work. Discover why I advocate for the personal touch as your real USP—be it in the nuance of teaching a podcasting program or the immediacy with which you answer client queries. Join me for a mini-moment that promises to realign your professional compass to your true north: authentic self-expression in your business practices.

Overcoming fear isn't just about personal triumph; it's about unlocking doors to your potential, especially when it intersects with business growth and efficiency. That's precisely what we unpacked with the remarkable Leigh Woolard on Mindset Monday. Leigh, a dynamic coach and family man, graciously peeled back the layers of his own journey, tackling the fear of failure that once threatened to capsize his dreams. As we wove through the conversation, he passed on pearls of wisdom for crafting a compelling vision for life and business, and the transformative power of facing fears with courage.
The dialogue took an inspiring turn as Leigh recounted how he's coached both young adults and his sons' football team to embrace mistakes. His stories aren't just heartwarming; they're a testament to the power of reframing thoughts and the bold steps necessary to leap over obstacles. This episode is not just a casual listen—it's an invitation for anyone teetering on the edge of their next big move. Looking for that nudge to plunge into the thrilling waters of their next venture? This is it. Join us as we unravel how to harness your potential, shatter mindset blocks, and step into the life and business you envision in this Mini-Mindset episode.

Have you ever received a compliment and immediately downplayed it? Imagine transforming that instinct and learning to embrace praise to uplift your spirit and enhance your self-perception. On our latest podcast journey, I open up about an enlightening card pull exercise from my monthly coaching sessions that sparked a profound realisation about the context of people's actions and the power of compliments. Through a personal anecdote, I unravel why it's so common, especially for women, to play down our achievements and how acknowledging our talents can significantly shape our mindset.
This week, join me as I unpack the subtle art of accepting compliments without a hint of self-deprecation. We'll discuss the ripple effects of openly receiving kind words and how it can infuse joy into our professional lives and personal growth. I challenge you to not only bestow genuine praise upon others but to also take note of your reactions when you're on the receiving end. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with insights that will help continue nurturing a mindset that welcomes joy in every business venture and personal stride. Let's start celebrating our successes with the grace they deserve.

Reflecting on our evolution from April 2020, our conversations have been nothing short of inspiring. Guest insights and stories have shaped our platform into one that celebrates growth, reinvention and refining.
For those itching to voice their own stories, I'm delighted to walk you through my 'Start Your Podcast' program, where you'll go from concept to launch in an intimate eight-week journey.

Rounding off this celebratory episode, I share a slice of life that embraces the beauty of pacing in both business and personal realms. From syncing work patterns with natural rhythms to the soft ambition that allows for growth without excess, these themes are close to my heart.

Are you standing in your own way of launching your dream podcast? Struggling with the paralysing effects of perfectionism and procrastination can make this dream seem like an unattainable goal. But, what if I told you that your pursuit of perfection is actually causing procrastination and keeping you stuck? I'm Donna Eade, and in this episode, I reveal how these two destructive tendencies are intertwined, creating a vicious cycle that can hold you back from starting your podcast.
I also share my own podcasting journey, reminding you that no one starts with a perfect setup. If I waited for perfection, I wouldn't have a podcast right now. The key is to start where you are and improve as you go. By setting goals and deadlines and sticking to a content schedule, you can combat procrastination and overcome perfectionism. Embrace your initial imperfections and view them as stepping stones towards growth and improvement. Remember, your audience will appreciate your authenticity and growth over time, not immediate perfection. So, shed the fear, take the leap and let your voice be heard!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of your professional and personal lives? You're not alone! We've got Mahnaz Sharif, a boundary-setting expert, with us, sharing her invaluable insights on mastering the elusive work-life balance. She's not just addressing the working mothers; her wisdom is for anyone finding it hard to create harmony between their work and personal life.
We kick things off by discussing the importance of setting boundaries. Far from being constraints, Mahnaz sees them as checkpoints that keep us on the right track. We then shift gears to address the art of self-care. Ever thought about how being a better caregiver to yourself can bring balance to your life? We explore this concept and share how simple measures like taking scheduled lunch breaks can create moments of rest in our otherwise jam-packed schedules. And, where better to seek inspiration for balance and rest than nature itself?
As we approach the final leg of our discussion, we share practical strategies for setting boundaries at work and home. If you're finding it hard to create boundaries owing to lack of family support, or if your rest time is getting compromised, you'll find our tips and strategies incredibly beneficial. More importantly, we discuss how to effectively communicate your boundaries to your family and make time for both work and family. This insightful conversation promises to equip you with tools to bring harmony and balance to your life. So, let's get started on this journey together!

Listen to how the book "Everything is Figuratable" has become her go-to biz book, how she’s recently taken to surfing, and much more.

Bonus Episode 172
Are you ready to transform your business with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? This insightful episode shares my personal experiences and insights about integrating AI into my business operations. We're not talking about a step-by-step guide on AI, but instead understanding the value of AI and the vital role it's destined to play in business.
Listen in as we explore the delicate interplay between the efficiency AI offers and the unique subtleties that only a human touch can bring to business interactions.
I reveal three primary areas where AI has become an integral part of my operations: podcasting, email marketing, and crafting catchy titles. No, AI doesn't write my scripts verbatim, but it serves as my trusty idea generator to fight off writer's block.

This week we are looking at how you build your Know, Like and Trust factor (KLT) with your audience. More so than in the last century we are looking at the people behind the business when we buy. We want to know if the person is telling us the truth we want to feel a connection and we want to know a bit about them. Buying has become more p2p (person to person) than b2c (business to consumer).
We are being encouraged all over social to support local small businesses but these are the businesses we need more from. They don't have shops on the high street, they don't have a huge workforce, and they don't have the usual signs of longevity that make us feel comfortable to buy and that is why we need a little more from small businesses, we need to feel like we know them so we can trust their product or service.
You are that small business and you need to make sure you're building that KLT on a daily basis. Today we'll cover
- Knowing your audience
- Being authentic and relatable
- Fostering genuine engagement
- Providing value & solving problems
- Consistency and Integrity
Come and share your key takeaway over on Instagram @Donna_Eade_

Batching and Baking are the topics of the day and no I'm not talking cookies, though you are more than welcome to grab some while you listen.
If you want to save time in your day and reduce the context switching we spoke about in Ep 154 then Batching and baking are great ways to do it. I feel so much more organised and on top of things when I batch and bake. So give it a go and see how it feels.
Different techniques work for different people so it's important to give everything a go, and give it a fair trial to find what works. I say a 3-month trial of a new technique will let you get to grips with it explore and discover if it's a good fit for your lifestyle.
Do you already batch of bake? Let me know over on Insta, if you do neither let me know your favourite productivity hack/technique. @donna_eade_

In this podcast, we explore the concept of work-life balance and why it is a myth. Many of us strive for balance, thinking that it will make us happier and more fulfilled. But in reality, true balance is almost impossible to achieve.
Instead, we need to focus on our values and priorities.
What is truly important to us? Is it spending time with our family and friends? Pursuing our passions and hobbies? Making a difference in the world? Once we have identified our priorities, we can start making intentional choices that align with those values.
Ultimately, the key is to be intentional and mindful about how we spend our time. We may never achieve perfect balance, but by aligning our actions with our values and priorities, we can live a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
Quote of the Week
~ There is no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them and they have consequences. Jack Welch. ~

2023 wedding trends you need to know
Is it important to know the trends? I think so, knowing what people are wanting/ requesting for their day helps you know how to market yourself.
Imagine all couples were leaning toward bright bold colours for their wedding day that's the wedding trend of the year for colour and your website is covered in pastels! Your couples would think you can't cater for them because you aren't showing them what they want.
And although we say don't judge a book by its cover when you have 20 + suppliers to find and thousands of options, shop windows are going to be the first cull point. Even if you are their ideal supplier they'd never know because you didn't make it past the first cut.
So it's important to look at the wedding trend report to see what's happening and use it to your advantage to market your business.
In today's Episode:
- Be gone over filtered photography
- Hello Viva Magenta bye bye pastels
- The rise of the experience
'In a world of trends, I want to be classic'
-Iman.

It's a new year and a chance to look at how we will change our marketing this year. Part of marketing is advertising and this is something as an industry I don't think we have explored enough or taken advantage of it very well.
So today we will look at several forms of advertising and the ROI of each to help you decide where to put your advertising budget. You have got one of those right?
Where should you focus on Advertising this year?
I have done all of these forms of advertising over the years and I have to say HANDS DOWN the best advertising is word of mouth. You might agree you might not but if you do let me ask you.
Do you have a system to cultivate a collective of evangelists for your business? Because although WOM is powerful and the lowest cost advertising you can get it is also the most out of your control. A system will increase the cost but also increase your control and therefore increasing the overall ROI. Not sure what I'm talking about? Then listen in to the episode.
In today's Episode:
- Word of Mouth (WOM)
- Your Shop Front
- Social Media
- Traditional Media
Stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time

It's a brand new year! Let's make it work for us.
Today we are talking about goal setting for the new year and we are looking at personal and business goals because the new year often brings new years resolutions and I want to challenge that today.
Post recording this (and a bonus for those who read the show notes ;) ) I heard resolutions referred to as intentions which I also much preferred to resolutions.
setting your intentions is a great way to start a day a week a month or a year. Intention lets you keep striving and are more forgiving of bumps in the road.
However you choose to label them, I hope yours get you to where you want to be by the end of the year.
So first we look at the words and why they matter
Next, we compare some of my and my daughter's resolutions and why one might be more successful than the other
Then, we look at SMART goals and why it's important that our personal and business goals are smart.

Today I get to chat with Matt McWilliams someone who's been in my world for around four years now. In online terms I've seen him around in different spots I'm on his emails list and take note of what's going on. Then one day around September time an email dropped in my inbox to say Matt was doing a book launch and would I be interested in helping out.
I'm a huge supporter of those I believe in and you guys have seen evidence of that with other guests I've had on the show. So I said absolutely, come on the show let's talk about it. So that's what we did! You can watch the video on YouTube as always or listen here.
Matt is a huge supporter of people who run large affiliate launches and is the go-to guy for everything affiliate but this book isn't about affiliate marketing it's about finding your thing and making it profitable for you. So, whether you are in the industry or thinking of getting into the industry this book is a must-read to avoid the pitfalls many of us make when we start a business.
In today's Episode:
- Matt sets me a challenge
- We talk about discovering your passions and three questions you can ask to help in that discovery
- We talk about the importance of ICAs
- And Matt talks us through a visualisation exercise he uses when he's thinking about what Peter would do.
"Do something you are VERY PASSIONATE about, and don't try to chase what is kind of the HOT PASSION of the day "
- Jeff Bezos

There is almost a guilt that sits around taking time out of your business. I should be working I should be hustling if I don't I'm not worthy of results and no one will see how hard I worked.

Client Communication?
There are a lot of keys in business, keys to attracting clients, keys to running a business, and keys to great reviews. I imagine this huge bunch of keys and all of us trying to find the right one at the right time and it sounds like a nightmare to me! However, thanks to the internet searching for the keys is a little easier.
And of course, this podcast is here to help with episodes aimed at highlighting the keys that work in our industry. Now client communication is a huge part of our industry. It's not like a retail shop where people go in browse, buy and leave and barely one word needs to be spoken by the company. In our industry communication is EVERYTHING. You need to understand what the client is looking for, you need to express how what you do can fulfil that need. So today let's dive deep into how we communicate.
In today's episode:
- First impressions
- Guiding your potential clients
- Using Systems to make it easy

Want to go your business? Then Never Stop Learning.
When you look back on school life do you sit there and think that was a huge waste of time? Did you learn things you use now was it the education you thought you'd get?
Oftentimes people think school was a waste of time but I would say that even if the subject matter learning wasn't quite on point you'd have learnt a lot about people. The Bullies, the Over givers, the show-offs, the introverts, the creatives, the geeks etc. you will have come into contact with people from all walks of life with very different passions and ideals and that in itself was an education.
However often school can put people off learning or make them think they can't learn and what that does is keep people stuck. If you never stop learning you'll never stop growing. So I'd encourage you to look around at learning opportunities it's not like school when you become an adult for a start you get full control over what it is you want to learn.
In today's episode, we talk with Kelly Mortimer, Wedding Business Coach extraordinaire, Kelly wasn't a fan of school learning but has found a passion for learning and teaching in her adult life and I've been a lifelong member of the teaching and learning crowd. Seriously I went to school then came home and made my little sister play schools and made her do math on the weekends (lol sorry Gem).
In today's episode:
- The Importance of Learning
- The big benefits of learning
- Why cutting your development budget might cause more harm than good.
"Never let formal education get in the way of your learning "

It is so important to build strong relationships both within the industry and outside of it. They can be the difference between success and failure. Why? Because when you are at your breaking point, ready to give up (let's face it we can all get there from time to time) it's those people you have forged strong working relationships and friendships with who will pick you up and shed new light on the situation.

Without a solid foundation, you'll have trouble creating anything of value

Following my interview with Lucille Roache last week I bring you the Start your wedding business series along with last week's episode this is a 5 part series. I hope it helps you if you are starting or thinking of starting a wedding business.
If you already have a wedding business don't worry there is still info in here for you too.
So today with start with step one which is the research phase. The research I'm focused on here is market research. These days the need for something isn't really something you need to research because if you were looking to provide something that isn't being provided you'll be hard pushed to find that gap. However, that doesn't mean it's not viable because these days people like choice and especially in the wedding industry people buy people so there is always room for you because you are unique.

I failed!
They say failing to prepare is preparing to fail and that was my downfall here I think. Back in February, I attempted to hold myself accountable with you guys to a morning and evening routine that was to change my world!! And I promised I'd report back in a few months with the results. We'll they are in and it's not good.
Where did it all go wrong?
Changing habits or creating new ones isn't easy. when you fall into a routine that has been the same for years it's hard to break it and change it. So today I admit my failings and I hope it shows you that if at first, you don't succeed it's not time to give up, it's time to change tack and try again
In this episode:
- Why my routines failed
- What will I change going forward
- What worked
- What won't work

Where did all the time go!
It's hard when you are in business for yourself by yourself. You're doing the roles of 7 or more people and you only have 24 hours in the day. So why do we beat ourselves up so much about not being able to do it all?
Today I want to address the life we are missing out on when we bury ourselves in work and how we might look at our diaries and get the aliment back on track. No that doesn't mean balanced because balance doesn't exist!
In this episode:
- Work life balance isn't a thing.
- What does your calendar currently look like?
- What is most important to you?
- How taking on more work might be the answer.
- Take time to smell the roses.

I'm a night owl self confessed. I have more energy in the afternoon I'm slow to get going but once I start I could keep going into the wee small hours.

In today's show, we will be discussing ...
- What depression and self care looked like for me two years ago.
- How understanding your circadian rhythm can help you understand your energy better.
- What apps I use.

What does financial success look like to you?
Stop looking at what everyone else is saying and doing instead look within what do you need what do you want and what does that translate to as a financial sum of money? Until you know what you are wanting you can't go out an get it. Money blocks come in many shapes and sizes and unfortunately are usually ingrained in us in childhood and well just as it's hard to break the habit of going to the toilet before bed it's really difficult to stop believing something you were told over and over again.
In today's show, we will be discussing ...
- Intuition what is it and how does it show up?.
- What do you really want and why?
- Using journaling to break through those money blocks.

As we look back and look forward it's a great time to evaluate exactly what we what from our businesses.

Maybe that means I won't be what others consider financially successful but for me my ultimate goal is to enjoy my family and be able to afford to do that. That doesn't take millions of pounds. So think long and hard about what you truly want and how your business can help you get there.

Choose ~ your collaborators wisely, vet them. You need to find people with the same energy as you the same mindset as you but with different skillsets. What is it they can bring to the table? It's important that the match on an energy level if you don't match you could find you end up doing all the work while they coast along.
Clarity ~ ensure everything is clear between all parties. What is expected of everyone what is the goal you are trying to achieve? For most people, it's more visibility so make sure the strategy for getting that is laid out and agreed to.
Communication ~ is key. Once everything has been verbally confirmed clarify everything in an email. Make sure expectations are set, ensure they know what they have to do but also what it is you'll be doing too.
Commitment ~ everyone has to be committed it isn't a case of agreeing then sitting back while everyone else does the work so make sure if someone isn't pulling their weight that you address it so they can pick up the slack. Remind them of the commitment they and everyone else made and get back on track.
Marketing is how we make the most of our collaborations and again this needs to be clearly communicated with clarity and have the commitment of everyone for it to have the biggest impact for everyone.
One of the things people forget to do in the pre-marketing sequence before the collab happens is to talk about it, talk about what you will be doing and who you will be working with, get people excited and curious. Let them know when it's happening and to come back to your stories for glimpses behind the scenes. Then share those behind the scenes moments if everyone did this and tagged each other and then everyone reshared what everyone else was posting you'll give your audience a great overview from many angles of the day and you increase your audience reach by all the other vendors audiences.
It's like a spider web that keeps growing. the day after share your post collab thoughts then when the images are ready to share do what you do best and tag everyone and share those images. But don't forget the other options too, write a blog post about it, share top tips for a wedding day of that style from your viewpoint get the group you collaborated with to share the blog as they'll be tagged in it, and do the same for them.
Collaborations are great for building a good network around you but also for attracting new clients and so much can be done with them over and above sharing the results.

Get cash flow moving with payment plans?
I'm no financial advisor so do speak to your accountant before implementing a payment plan.
Example your contract says cancellations 6 months before the wedding with incur 50% of the fees being forfeited by the couple, a cancellation 3 months before the wedding will incur 75% of fees being forfeited by the couple and any cancellation in the final month will result in 100% of the fee being forfeited
So you need to make sure you have the right money in your account at those cancellation points. Go back to your legal fairy godmother ep048 for more details
So taking our example of £300 retainer and a £1500 package based on a booking 18 months out for the wedding date 7th Jan 2023 they book and pay the retainer in July 2021. The retainer is a separate fee it is paid at the time of booking I would suggest a 14 day cooling off period after which that money is non-refundable. That money is then part of your cash flow.
Option 1:
We now need to start collecting the £1500 for the package cost.
You will need to have taken £750 by the time 6 months before the wedding date. So divide £750 by the months between the month after they book and 6 months out which would be July 2022.
Not including this month as they paid their retainer, that leave 11months months
£750 Divided by 11 = £68.18 per month starting 1st of August
If they were to cancel after July 2022 and before October 2022 they would need to forfeit the money they had paid so far.
Then you would require a one off payment of £375 3 months before the wedding which gives you the 75% should they cancel after that date and finally another £375 the month before the wedding.
Doing this you are ensuring you have all of the money you are owed at the point of cancellation in your bank.
OR
You need to have £1125 in the bank at the 3 month mark to cover the 75% divide the £1125 by the number of months between the booking month and 3 months out from the wedding don’t include the booking month use this number or 12 months whichever is shorter remember we can only do payment plans for 12 months. In our example the number of months is 15 so we use 12.
£1125 by 12 = £93.75per month starting on the 1st of August
Then a final payment of £375 would be due the month before the wedding.
This way is the simplest and easiest and requires the least amount of effort on both parts, as you are doing the 12 payments then collecting one final payment rather than 2. with 18 months until the wedding you will actually hold 75% of the total fee by the 6 month cancellation point so if they were to cancel you would owe them the 25% back.
Build a contingency pot for those odd cancellations I would suggest keeping a third of all payment plans for the first 6 months to a year in this pot that would give you a good contingency fund. It would depend on how many bookings you have, you just want to make sure you have some money in a pot that could cover cancellations should they happen.
I would also recommend having all payment plans set up for the 1st of the month. This means you just have one day a month where you need to sit down and just check that all clients on a plan have paid their payment. If you use bookkeeping software like Fresh books you can set up an automatically recurring invoice that they can pay instead of requiring them to set up a standing order this can make it much easier when it comes to tax season and for keeping track.

Love stories and memories with Sas
Sas Huntwood is the owner of The Story Tellers a company that aims to capture your stories and images in a beautiful keepsake that you and your family will treasure for years to come. From commemorating special moments in a life to telling a life story these books capture, love, humour and personality. Today I sit down with Sas to talk about the value of telling stories.
Where the memories start
Sas lives in Devon and is married with a 10 year old daughter who thinks she is 21 can you relate? I have a 20 year old that thinks she doesn't live at home anymore so I have seen the progression and not a lot changes in all honesty except more grey hair!
Moving to Devon was an inspired move as just 2 months after the move we went into the first lockdown, now if you're going to be locked down anywhere?! The idea for the Story Tellers actually came a few years ago but I did with the SPWV Sas sat on the idea never quite finding the right time to start. Then we went into lock down and like me Sas decided what a great time to start a new business. Yep I think we are both crazy but some of the craziest plans end up creating the best outcomes. So, The Story Tellers was born.
So what is a story book?
It's like this is your life, Michael Aspel and his big red book but on steriods
It's the stories and the memories that sit behind the photos. Over time our mind memories fade but pictures illicit memories so what we do is capture those memories now just as they are so they can be enjoyed for generations to come. In the episode Sas shares an amazing story about the nan and grandad do take a listen as I won't do it justice in writing it here go to about the 4 min mark for the start of that story.
Story books are the capture of social history and it's so much more interesting to read it from the point of view of the person who lived it than the history book version of things. It's even more interesting when it's your family that are the hero's and heroines of the stories.
Love Stories
Your wedding day takes a lot of planning and preparation and you don't always see all of what goes on on the day. It's a huge life event and when we tell the story of your wedding day we are telling your love story. So we interview the couple separately find out how you met how the proposal happened etc. Then we speak after the wedding and we speak with the wedding party too. So as well as the guest book or instead of the guest book you can have well wishes and advice dotted throughout the book. We discover their stories from the day as well as the couples. We capture the honeymoon too if they have one.

I love podcasting, I think I always fancied being a radio presenter and now I get to host and produce my own show which is pretty cool.
Aside from being something I enjoy it is highly valuable to my business and creates a vast amount of content for me to use. I don't even use it to its full potential yet myself so there is always more you can do with it.
This is why I think it might be what's missing from your content catalogue. Podcasting is still small in comparison to blogs and videos with around 1 million podcasts worldwide. The UK host a very small percentage this time last year UK podcasts made up just 6% of all podcast shows. So that means lots of potential. You can also start a podcast with zero outlay!
My number 1 reason for suggesting a podcast to you is the repurpose potential of your podcast. There are so many ways you can break it down and share it that you can literally have around 3 weeks worth of content from 1 episode.
Here are some options
- Load it to YouTube ~ even if you don't like being on camera you can just have B-roll or a static image showing not everyone is on YouTube to watch things some like to just listen.
- Use software like otter.ai to transcribe your podcast and upload it as a blog post ~ I recommend otter.ai as it's the most accurate at transcribing of the ones I've tried and I've tried a lot. With transcription, it definitely does pay to pay. You can get a set amount of uploads and minutes free with
- so you can give them a go for free.
- You can create soundbites to share on social media ~ Buzzsprout has the ability to do this on their hosting platform it's quick and easy and you can make multiple soundbites for each episode.
- You can pull quotes from the podcast and put them into social media graphics
- Create a reel about the episode and or a tick tok!
- Make an infographic of the main points covered in the episode
- create a poll on your social about the 2 sides of your podcast eg. for this one I might do one that says are you thinking about starting a podcast yes or no, or listen to this episode and let me know are you intrigued to look into podcasting, yes I want to know more or nope it's not for me.
This is by no means an exhaustive list but hopefully, it will get the wheels turning.

Ready to start your own podcast?
Well you might be or you might be thinking I'm intrigued but not sure if you are in either of those camps I have something for you that I think will really help you.

Social media tip #1 Go All In!
Pick one or two platforms to go all in on them. Make sure you use the breadth of options on them, so instagram for example, posts igtv, stories and reels. You might shy away from reels but they are getting incredible reach you don't have to dance around if you don't want to. Do a behind the scenes, take snapshots of your work and pull them together Caz uses In Shot for editing her reels videos then adds music and up loads in the instagram app. You don't have to be full face on screen but sharing you does help build trust with your viewers.
~*~
Social media tip #2 Be Consistent
When people ask gurus how do I be Consistent they often say Batching and batching is great if it works for you but it's not for everyone. Another way is to theme your days so you have an idea of what you will post on each day that helps with the creativity. So you have business posts then perhaps you love tea or your pets or the place you live. Don't make it all business all of the time let people get to know you. It adds a bit more depth and helps people remember you. It helps you when you are stuck to think around the theme and what you could post.
~*~
Social media tip #3 Don't Be Afraid of Paid Ads
With the IOS update there has been some changes no doubt but many people aren't aware of what those changes actually mean. Basically what the update means is apps like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others can no longer track people who are on their apple device once they leave the app. This impacts the ability to retarget these people with ads. However not everyone is viewing everything on their phone all the time. If people use their laptop or PC then that can still all be tracked so you can still use retargeting and it will show those retargeting ads on the phone.
Ads are still fine and can still work but you need to ensure your ad is good, because a rubbish ad will have a rubbish performance regardless of these updates. Don't right Facebook off it's still the biggest social media platform. And they are seemingly making pages more social I'm seeing more pages in my feed than I have for a long time. It seems they are creating more of a parallel with the way instagram business profiles work.
Facebook knows life events quickly people flip their status to engaged and boom those people will get all the wedding based ads so it's great for targeting.

Once your Branding is done it's done. Right?
It's wrong to think that you do your logo once and that it's stuck in stone forever more and it doesn't change that's just not the reality. You know your business changes in theory you should be updating your business plan every so often and I think in a similar way you should review your branding.
Same with your website, that's not something that is just stays in one way and then you never do anything with it. You're constantly tinkering with the message. You're updating things and you're trying new techniques So evolving your brand is something you should look at on a regular basis.
We should look at what colours you use, what logo, what are your fonts, what's your tone of voice? There are lots of things associated with how you present yourself both in person and on these different mediums, websites, social etc. and it's good to be able to look at it and make sure that it's still relevant.
And it's something I've done in my own business. You know I haven't had it all figured from the beginning and I've evolved myself and I think it can be a really great way to go. Just start and evolve your brand over time and go with the flow because sometime life happens but you know there can be all sorts of curve balls whether it comes from your own life or outside circumstances, and it's useful to be able to shift gears or change direction, as long as it's relevant, to your business. So that's where I come in. I help with that process.

5:00m ~ Refreshing your website and your social media presence
It has been 14 months of uncertainty for the industry, many have not really been focused on promoting themselves but more looking after their couples and trying to work to get answers from the government. It means a lot has probably changed in the way we think and feel about our business and life so now is the perfect time to look at evolving your brand.

Why are Awards so important for businesses?
- It gives you the opportunity to deep dive into your business and analyse what you're doing.
- Once you win no one can take that award away from you it is yours forever and it gives you instant credibility. Raises you to the level of expert in your industry.
- The feel good factor its nice to be recognised for all your hard work
- Publicity opportunity is enormous.
- It's great for team morale if you have a team.
Are All Awards created equal?
In my opinion no I'm a real fan of awards that are properly entered and go in front of a judging panel. In theory a business competition rather than a vote for awards which is more of a popularity contest rather than a credibility award.
However, consumers generally gravitate towards businesses that have won awards so no they aren't all equal but when it comes from the consumer perspective they kind of are. Consumers are unlikely to do the research to see where the award came from and how it was awarded.
Think also about what you want to be known for if you are a local business then entering local awards makes sense, if you're a woman in business, gender specific awards might be something you want to go for. Do your due diligence and research because remember you are giving your details to these companies so be aware. With vote for awards they are usually getting all the data of the voters too so think about that too. Make an informed decision, some awards are purely traffic building exercises for the companies hosting them.
Some even contact you to tell you you have won an award you just have to pay £500 for the logo be aware there are scams out there. Go with awards you can verify (list of opportunities below).
There are awards you can enter for free but paying for entries is common in the industry. The Best Business Women Awards has a nominal fee to cover our admin costs we have a lot we have to go through also having the fee stopped people just entering because it was free and not filling in the application properly. Adding a fee got rid of 200-300 entire but these were people who weren't putting the effort in. So a fee also helps ensure on the whole that people will put in a full entry. It just depends on the awards I believe the Times awards are £250 per category but they are aimed at large corporations to who this fee isn't a big deal.
Don't forget to factor in the extra costs, is there an awards presentation event will that need transport etc. Also, look at what you get and if the answer is if you are not a winner you get anything, no award no certificate no logo not recognition then is it worth it for you to enter it? How much publicity do the awards company give their entrants, how active are they on social media, do they help with press releases? Way up the cost vs what you get out of it.
What are the PR opportunities how do we leverage the awards?
You automatically go up in the pecking order with journalists because you have credibility. But you have to put yourself out there, press won't come to you. You can look to get press coverage from a number of sources here are some of the press winners of the Best Business Women Awards have secured:
- Sky News
- BBC News
- The Victoria Derbyshire Show
- Trade Magazines
- National Magazines
- Local Radio
I advise people to work with a PR Agency.
Local press can be picked up by the national press so don't overlook local press.
Added bonuses it will also help with your SEO and often the awards will give you a backlink to your site.

How did you get started in Wedding Stationery?
It started with my own wedding. I did some things for my brother's wedding and then a friend of my sisters-in-law's ask if I could do some for her. She had seen the place card I'd done for my wedding my sister-in-law loved it and had it on display and that's how I got started.
I was on maternity leave so I had the time and I'd always been creative, I did Art A level. I did that for a couple of years but actually did go back to the office job. But I really missed the industry the stationery and being creative as well as working with couples. So I decided to come back to it and do it full time.
~*~
What do you love about working in the Wedding Industry?
The people in the industry on the whole are lovely and I love working with them, But it's the clients, the feedback and knowing I've done a good job and helped them. Stationery is often overlooked, and they think of the bigger expenses first and often don't see the value in the stationery. However, by having a professional do your stationery we can take the theme and pull it through the whole day which can bring everything together beautifully.
The invitation is the first thing a guest will see and it sets the tone for the day to come. If you were going for a rustic barn wedding your invitation should reflect that and your guests should understand the style of the day from the invitation.
~*~
How do you broach the options with your clients?
Generally, clients are coming to talk about save the dates and invitations but I will always mention that I can do the on the day stationery as well. I think it's important and really elevates the day by having all the stationery match. So I let them know upfront all the things I can do.
~*~
How much of your work takes place in your studio and how much do you outsource?
I do have printers in the studio which I use when I'm printing paper that is set on backing card for hand embellished invitations but if it's a detailed graphic design with lots of colour then I tend to outsource that as the printer companies I use can use much thicker card than my printers and I like to use a quality card stock. I also do acrylic and glass invitations and those are sent out for printing too.
Keep on learning
I undertook two graphic design courses when I started to elevate my skills. A diploma in graphic design and an advanced diploma in graphic design. Since then I've also done a sales course to help me with my selling techniques, it really helped me improve my confidence in selling myself and what I do. When covid hit I expanded my business stationery side and did a branding course to help me improve what I can offer my business clients. I've just started a course on SEO to help me improve my website reach. A lot of my enquiries come through Instagram and Facebook and I'd like to see more traffic on my website so I'm hoping this course will help me with that.
~*~
Why did you join the SPWV?
I started seeing your ads about a year ago and I was intrigued and wanted to find out more. I want my clients to know that I'm reliable. When potential clients come across you they have no idea who you are and if you can be trusted and to be able to display the SPWV badge on my website, I just thought it was so valuable. I think it's really helped too I've had it on my website for about a year now and you spotlight me on your social media channels and I think it really does help. There are some great training opportunities as well within the group. I could see what you were trying to do and the value that could add to my business and I'm so glad that I joined.

Discount your service and you devalue yourself
Today Bernadette Chapman talks with us about how discounting your service is one of the worst things you can do for your business and the entire wedding industry. We also cover how to make sure you are pricing for profitability and how working with wedding planners could be a great way of getting repeat business without the need for a divorce.
Discounting
When asked about discounting Bernadette's first response is 'Don't do it!' and I have to agree I've never felt discounting was a word that belonged in the wedding industry. It reminds me of high street sales and DFS. The wedding industry is heart-led and is about providing the best service we can for a price that allows us to be in business, discounting often feels dishonest as well as a lot of discounts aren't actually discounts as the price was inflated in the first place. So Bernadette's next comment really shed light on this.
'If you discount it devalues the work of everyone around you, they start to discount to ensure they get work, then you discount further it's not a viable business strategy,'
Bernadette says we all come into the wedding industry because we want to give and create the best possible day for our couples but that doesn't mean giving it all away. You must charge fairly for your services or you won't be able to sustain a business.
Offering discounts can create a race to the bottom and that should be avoided at all costs. The wedding industry has taken a huge knock over the past 14 months and offering heavy discounts to get money in quick might seem like a good idea but it can seriously damage your business and that of businesses around you.

Today is launch day the Society of Professional Wedding Vendors opens its doors to accept new members today but we are only open until 9 pm on Monday the 26th of April so you need to be quick.
In today's episode, I tell you the story of a bride named Jo. I forgot to mention in the recording she had actually requested black and white photos from the photographer but he hadn't edited the images at all. It was like he literally took the images off his memory card and put them straight on to a memory stick and that was it.
The Society is here to educate couples on why they shouldn't be looking for discounts from service providers and why they should look for the best for their budget. We also encourage our members to price themselves fairly and for-profit because though our members join the industry for the love of it, to stay in the industry we have to be making a profit, whether that's to cover your living costs, family fun money or just the costs of doing business.
Jo was very much let down by a photographer who didn't discount his service but rather did her a service to the value of what she paid which left her disappointed in her images.
I'm excited to announce this time around we have 2 levels of membership available, first is the Full Membership which is open to vendors who have completed at least 10 weddings from start to finish. Second is our Back End Membership which is open to all new vendors to the industry who want to get set up on the right foot from the beginning. Once you have completed and provided evidence of 10 weddings completed you will be able to upgrade to the Full Membership and get access to the public-facing benefits of the Society.

Your Legal Fairy Godmother
If you have a contract you need to listen if you don't have a contract you definitely need to listen.
Heather Stanford Gould has been dubbed the Legal Fairy Godmother to the wedding industry. She has two businesses - Stanford Gould and Stanford Gould Online – and she helps you lovely creative geniuses with all the legal contractual and compliance advice that you don’t know where to start with.
Client contracts, supplier agreements, freelancer contracts, insurance and liability issues, GDPR – all that tedious but crucial stuff you know you need for your wedding business.
Contracts aren't Sexy
Heather starts by explaining the #yourlegalfairygodmother and how that came about. Contracts aren't sexy, that aren't instagram worth and people get scared and in feeling that way avoid dealing with them. However, by creating the hashtag it opened up contracts to becoming a little more accessible for a creative audience. Making it a little more creative like the industry rather than trying to make the industry more like a law firm.
So the hashtag was born to meet the industry where we are at and make the subject a little less scary looking.
Your Legal Fairy Godmother went out on her own
Having worked as a dispute resolution lawyer Heather decided she wanted a change and initially set Stanford Gould Ltd up with the aim of helping small businesses with their contractual requirements. She wanted to make this very important STUFF accessible not only from a jargon perspective but also from a price point perspective.
After working with a commercial sports photographer she was recommended to a wedding photographer and the rest, as they say, is history. She saw more and more wedding professionals and so saw a need within the wedding niche and decided to dedicate her talents and abilities to helping wedding suppliers.
What are the biggest contract mistakes people make
There are huge differences between the contracts that have crossed the doors of Stanford Gould. From 3 sentences on the back of an invoice which is probably the worst. Not only is 3 lines inadequate but sending it on your invoice is too late you might as well not have bothered. At the other end you get the this is how we are going to work this is what we are going to do which can be impenetrable to a client. Often there are three significant gaps in contracts whatever the length:
- Understandability ~ The user-friendliness of it. 'Sounding' like a lawyer doesn't make a solid contract.
- Conflicting information ~ When people copy and paste from different places they end up creating conflicts e.g have payment requirements and cancellation clauses that in reality means you aren't holding the right amount of the clients' money to cover the cancellation at that time stated in the contract, meaning you are highly unlikely to recover that money.
- Liability Clauses ~ Almost universally this is the bit missing from most contracts and these are the bits that protect your business if things go 'tits up.' They should be legally fair, follow the rules and protect you the supplier, your house, car, pension your assets. THIS IS NO.1 Priority in your contract.

We started the show with a look into the workings of a partnership in business between a husband and wife. Chris and Jude have worked alongside each other as equal partners in their business since 2010 so if you are working with your partner I'm sure you'll find some common ground with these two and if you are considering starting that partnership listen in for some tips from the pros.
So what are your top tips for honing our Websites?
One
Your Home Page is so important. It is likely the first page someone lands on so you need to capture your ICA’s attention.
Clear statement above the fold
Good quality fast-loading image
A call to action
Ensure your home page looks good on all devices
Also, have a second call to action, so the first is the marry me CTA (ie. buy my stuff/book a call) the second is your way of getting the opportunity to try again, so offer them a free download in exchange for their email.
All of this should be happening before they have to interact with the screen on any device.
Two
Test your website on a mobile device, more than 50% of browsing is done on a mobile phone and more again that is done on a tablet so the total of mobile browsing out ways web browsing significantly now. So you REALLY need to check everything is working well and looks good on a mobile device.
Make sure titles aren’t vanishing off the side of the page make sure you have contact forms that fit in the screen and that pop-ups can be closed.
Three
Make sure your navigation menu is clear and consistent. Don’t use any industry jargon that the average person wouldn’t understand. Make your contact me look like a button so it’s obvious they need to click it.
Four
Don’t try to be clever with your page titles google scans these too and about it understand as does the average person but meeting the wedding warrior means nothing to either.
Five
It will also increase the words across your navigation menu and start to make it look cluttered a rule of thumb is to keep it between 6-8 items only.

We are responding to Bojo’s announcement on Monday we have a roadmap are we any better off let's chat.
Starting off let’s look at the positives we have a map and a structure to work with.
- This looks like a sound plan it’s cautious and padding is built-in for change.
- The staged approach to re-opening with the ability to pause a stage while the vaccines are being rolled out offering protection seems like a good solid plan.
- The stopping of homeschooling
- The return of the rule of 6 coming down
But now let’s look at where weddings fit into this roadmap a roadmap I feel the wedding industry has been the loudest in asking for it.
I want an explanation to HOW the gov came to their decisions because allowing a venue to go to 50% capacity or 4000 whichever is fewer for an event but only allowing weddings of 30 doesn’t make sense to me.
H**ere‘s why let’s say a venue has a 300 capacity and does weddings this venue can run an event with 150 in attendance people tend to go to events with their partner and or their friends you could have more than 75 households at this event. However, you couldn’t have a wedding for 150 where you would have less than 75 households because people go to weddings as a family.
So again I ask WHY are weddings excluded from event numbers weddings are events.**
**On the topic of being events, this to me is the more important point. Weddings are LIFE events they are moments that are special to us and are emotional, they are like the birth of a baby getting engaged moving to a new home these are milestone moments in our lives and are important for the whole family.
A concert is not a life event years of planning for the person attending doesn’t happen they buy their tickets and it's done a month before they might look to see what they will wear but a wedding has 2 whole families invested for years and also has their closet friends involved. These rese=tirctions don’t just disappoint vendors and couples it upsets WHOLE FAMILIES. It is in my mine totally unfair the separation between weddings and other events and I would like to have it explained to me because I feel I must be missing something.
So that my lovelies my feelings, in brief, I’ve not yet sat and read the whole document perhaps there is more explanation inside it though given the feelings of others in the industry I fear there isn’t.**
But with all this being said we have to look at what we can control we can’t change what Bojo has said but we can change our attitude to it I had my pity party and the disparity, it has affected both my brides who have had to move their dates due to number restrictions. What I can control is how I support them going forward, what I put out into the world for you guys and what I focus on. I urge you to look at what you can do within the guidelines that are set and let’s move forward. I believe that fighting for financial help is now where we need to focus because as we know 30 person wedding does not provide our bread and butter. Small weddings may be part of our portfolio but they where never the entire portfolio so financial help until restrictions are lifted are a must.
**Let's focus on what we can control and be cautiously optimistic that AUGUST is going to be an amazing month for weddings.
The Society will be opening its doors in April so if you’d like to find out more and be the first to know then head over to the website bit.ly/wpcukbojo scroll to the very bottom of the page and join the podcast tribe and you'll be the first to know.**

Clubhouse are you suffering FOMO?
It’s an exclusive app and everyone is talking about it but what is all the hype about. I’m going to talk you through my experience on today’s episode so listen in above or click your favourite podcast app or read on.
Clubhouse Basics
Currently the app is:
- Invite only
- Apple only
- IOS13 + only
- EXCLUSIVE
It launched last year in the US but has only really got loud in the UK in the last few months. It is like being in a zoom meeting without video. The app is split into,
- The hallway
- Clubs
- Rooms
- And profiles
When you enter a room you enter the audience and will have no ability to speak. You can listen in for as long as the room is open, if you want to leave just click the 'leave quietly' button to go back to your hallway. If you want to join the conversation you can click to 'raise your hand' and the moderators can then invite you to 'the stage' at the time of this podcast you enter the stage area with you mic on. Etiquette dictates you should immediately mute yourself and wait for the moderators to ask you for your input currently there is a tech issue that means your sound goes out momentarily while you transfer from the audience to the stage.
There are a lot of beginner rooms run Clubhouse Jeff is a good guy to go find he runs a beginner room and on Sunday at 4 pm GMT Mac Laubscher has been running a room for beginners so they are great places to start.

Valentine's day is one of the biggest days of the year for the Wedding Industry. Nearly 40% of all engagements happen between November and February starting with Thanksgiving in the USA and ending with Valentine's day. So wedding off-season is engagement marketing season and if you are going to stand out from the crowd you need to be different in some way.
In today's episode, I'm going to walk you through a way of automating your communication once so that you don't have to keep repeating yourself or keep writing new content every week.
You can do this in 2 ways you can block some time on your calendar and bash out 52 emails and get them set up or you can write one email a week of the next 52 weeks. Either way, the idea is you would have a sequence of emails that would automatically send to your potential clients from when they first sign up to your email. and that this sequence would help you book calls with those leads which you can turn into bookings.
So take a listen as I walk you through what to look at, adding a call to action and segmenting your list as you go. If you feel like you're behind in your marketing don't worry you can implement this, this weekend.
For your email marketing requirements take a look at:

Lynnette is such a ray of sunshine in what has been a truly awful 11 months for us all. I discovered Lynnette on Instagram and from the first LIVE, I caught I was hooked. Her personality was just so apparent and the ability to smile through has been a pleasure to have on my feed. So if you don't follow Lynnette then head over to her Instagram and follow her.
As a bridal hairstylist, she knows how difficult it has been for the wedding industry because she has walked in those shoes too. The reason I asked Lynnette to come on the show was to share with us what she does how she coped through the 2020 lockdowns and what she's focusing on for the future.
Listen in to find out how Live Video really changed Lynnette's 2020 even after her disastrous first attempt and how she is looking to expand her revenue streams in 2021. Not only does Lynnette serve brides but she also teaches bridal hairstyling and can teach beginners through to advanced stylist and in a world where everything moved online in 2020 hear how and why Lynnette is keeping it real!
This was such a great episode full of laughter I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did.

Grab your 5 Ways to increase your income brainstorm guide here
Have a clear-out and get making money
Physical clutter can really build up mental clutter so clearing out your home will have a positive effect on your mind and your wallet.
Here are the company links I mentioned on the show
- Thrift.plus 3 way split you them and charity on branded clothes and accessories
- Ebay sell pretty much anything
- Vinted.co.uk sell any of your clothes.
- Ziffit Books, DVDs, CDs, with Ziffit they arrange collection
It is a time investment to load everything or scan it and parcel it up to send but it is two jobs in one. Decluttered home more money in the bank win-win.
Points cards
I use the Tesco Clubcard and credit card and although not as good as it used to be it is still an easy win. With points on your food shop and points on your Tesco petrol/diesel, these points add up
Cashback Sites
Using cashback sites is a habit you need to form, it is so easy to forget to check but this can be so much quicker than the Tesco points and can pay dividends on large purchases. In our house we favour Quidco but Top Cash Back is also an option.
Here is a recent example of how you can use these two methods to get the biggest bang for your buck:
A recent purchase of the iPhone 11 priced £652
By using the Tesco credit card we received 81 pts if we use them doubled or tripled that will be £1.62 or £2.43 it’s not a lot but as we’d have bought it on a credit card to protect the purchase it’s a bonus and of course, we will use it along with our other points.
By going through a cashback site we are due £51.92 back on the purchase.
So in effect, the phone cost £597.65 and it took 2 mins to do.
Join a multi-level marketing co.
I joined Scentsy in Oct 2019, I was what they call a kitnapper, the kit was a great price and worth so much more than I paid for it so I thought why not. It was never my intention to make money or do anything with the business. However, Covid hit, I was made redundant the business I had dreamed of setting up for 5 years (The Society of Professional Wedding Vendors) was almost halted entirely by the pandemic and I needed a way to make some money to top up my redundancy and make it go further while building the Society. That is when I looked at my Scentsy business more seriously.
There are MANY multi-level marketing companies out there not all are created equal and not all consultants/Representatives are created equal either. You may have been put off from such companies by pushy reps in the past but they aren’t the company and not every rep is like that though unfortunately, I do believe they exist in all companies.
Therefore I’m going to link some reps of different multi-level marketing companies who I know personally and trust not to ambush you or SELL you. So if this way of making money interests you reach out ask about it, let them know you heard about them here, they will look after you.

If you are in the wedding industry you would have heard about the #whataboutweddings campaign. On today's episode, I was lucky enough to interview one of the initiators of the movement Tamryn Settle.
Tamryn has been part of the wedding industry for 18 years starting as a wedding planning, only leaving to spend more quality time with her young son. The call of the wedding industry was too strong to resist though and Tamryn came back to work with Annabel Beeforth at Love My Dress as a senior writer and also as a celebrant helping couples personalise what has been until recent years the most important part but the most impersonal part of the day. Her goal is to create a ceremony that is as individual as the couples getting married and in this episode, her passion for what she does shines through. Get ready for goosebumps!
It was Tamryn and Annabel who started to put in place what has now become the What about weddings campaign. Having both had sleepless nights last March not knowing what to do or how to help, they put their heads together and reached out to the industry and to couples. Initially, their goal to be there for both sides to help them navigate what was being put in front of them and to be there to listen.
This grew to incorporate Jessica Westwood of Studio Sorores and over a zoom meeting one day the question was asked but What About Weddings and the rest, as they say, is history. The movement has grown with surveys conducted data collected Twitter takeovers and focus groups. In Summer Tamryn says they realised it would need to get political.
Tamryn relieved my fear of the industry being set back to zero by this lockdown saying 'we are not at zero, we are in a much better position than we were back in March, we have allies.' Which was so great to hear.
Asking Tamryn what is it the wedding industry needs right now to move forward her response was,
'We need a plan! An idea of how it will open up at what stages, ie if the r rate is this in April this will Happen by May if the rates are moving in the right direction this will happen etc.
We need financial help! So many vendors slipped through the cracks in the help the government has already handed out and we slip through it again and those who did manage to get grants are still going to need help to get through the next few months.
And finally, we need the insurance companies to do their jobs! Payout and take on new clients. So many couples haven't started booking because they can't get insurance.'
And what can we do as vendors to help the campaign?
'Get on Twitter! I know we prefer Instagram but the journalist and MPs are all on Twitter and if enough people are shouting over there then they just might and they have taken notice. use the hashtag what about weddings and tell people what is going on in your business. Follow @WAWofficialUK if you don't know what to post we are there to help.
Write to your MP! Even if you have already done it. The wedding industry is part of every constituency so the more letters they get from their constituents the more likely they will take notice and the more likely it will get heard in Westminster.
Most important of all DON'T BE QUIET! be the squeaky wheel make noise shout about it you will not be alone you will have support it will help you feel better to take action. You can control your voice so use it and support the campaign'

This week we talk with the Music Maestro himself Lincoln Noel, that's Noel as in the first, not Noel as in Gallagher.
Lincoln has had a 42-year career in the wedding industry and if you look at his photo you may think how is that possible he doesn't look old enough. Well my friends to us regular folk he isn't but this guy started working weddings at the ripe ol'age of 13 years old! That's right not even out of senior school.
Lincoln's passion for music started in infancy and he has never looked back. Having his focus so clear from day one has lead to an amazing career working in, TV, Theater, on the concert stage and for many wonderful couples across the decades.
In this interview, Lincoln shares his Journey from, schoolboy church organ player to the Maestro Master of Ceremonies he is today. He even played at our very own Northamptonian Jo Whiley's wedding back in 1991.
When asked what advice he had for newbies starting out in the wedding business his advice was advice for us all. Remember you are part of a collage, check your ego at the door my friend a wedding is not the place for you to shine you are there to enhance the day of the couple. Take a listen for some great storytelling and advice.

Happy New Year
Welcome back to the podcast everyone body, and welcome to a brand new year. I’m your host Donna Eade founder of the society of professional wedding vendors and Today we are going to talk about some new year changes goal setting for 2021. If you aren’t already then subscribe where you listen and please leave a review it really helps the podcast get in front of more of the right people like you and I will be muchly grateful
New Name
Happy New Year and welcome to 2021. Things look a little different around here we have had a name change The Society of Professional Wedding Vendors is my business and my passion but the name was too long for the podcast. So although the Society is still behind the podcast we have renamed it so welcome to the Wedding Pro Cast this podcast is aimed at helping all wedding professionals with tips and hints on business & sharing interviews with business experts and industry professionals. I do hope you subscribe and listen in every Thursday.
The Roadmap
I hope you had a great Christmas I know it wouldn’t have been what you’d have wanted but I hope you found some joy and merriment during the festive period. Everyone in our industry suffered loss in 2020, whether personal or business Covid-19 took a lot from us and the government really hasn’t helped and isn’t helping. I’ve seen a lot of people on social asking for a roadmap from the gov. But I feel that we are asking the impossible. No one in the gov. has ever lived through a pandemic like this before, in fact, no one alive has so how can't they accurately predict where we will be in April. If they say here's a map and then things don’t go to plan it will be their fault and without an roadmap, it’s their fault. Damned if they do damned if they don’t.
I understand in situations like this you want direction you want someone to blame and someone to take responsibility. But with this situation, it just isn’t that simple. I don’t think the government can make claims on where we will be in April. My request is that they put some financial support in place for wedding vendors. You want to serve your couples and after 9 months of postponing and moving weddings I believe you are well equipped to help brides when needed to more their days but you need income to maintain a basic living so you can still be around when their new date comes round.
Couples need reassurance that you’ve got them. That if their day can’t happen in the way they have planned that you can work quickly with them to make the adjustments needed.
My hope is the vaccine will be taken up by a majority of people and it will start making an impact and that we will get our industry back sooner rather than later. I know there are strong feelings out there about what the government should and shouldn’t be doing for our industry and I for 1 definitely don’t think they have done enough for the wedding industry.
Following the latest Announcement
This episode was recorded before the announcement on Monday. I am devastated that this has happened not because I don't think it's needed but because of the knock-on effect, it has on the wedding industry and more importantly the people in the industry.
We have all had moments over the last 9 months that have put us to our edge and this did it for me. I've not been able to put a positive spin on it and I'm totally fed up. But this comes from being someone who has done the most they can over the last 9 months. [Read more & download the Milestone Meeting Agenda]

In the final episode of 2020, I shout out some accounts and people who have brightened my days throughout the year with their positivity and perseverance. 2020 has seen the industry I love knocked off its feet unceremoniously yet you have all acted with dignity and grace. There has been hurt, anger and frustration to say the least, yet outwardly I have seen collaborations abound that there wouldn't have been time for in a normal year, I've seen business pivot to ensure their survival and I've seen people step out of their comfort zones to bring light, laughter and hope to us all.
To those people, I say thank you.
It has been a year where there has been nothing we could do to change what was going on and for some that has meant losing the businesses they have worked so hard for and letting down couples who have already had the disappointment of having to postpone their day. This is obviously not their fault just disappointing for all involved and we have seen the government ignore the cries for help, or fob us off with empty promises and declarations of understanding. It simply isn't good enough.
But even through all this, people have rallied round and done the best they could to raise awareness of the situation, to support couples who have been heartbroken at postponing a day they planned for so long all while desperately trying to hold on to their businesses and I think you are amazing! Your efforts are being seen not just by me but the industry and engaged couples everywhere and I pray those efforts will be rewarded, with good karma coming back to you ten fold in 2021.

Firstly, two corrections to clear up from the Automation podcast
- I said Debbie set up Mums Ultd and the Shining star awards 3 years ago. Mums has been going a lot longer. It was the Awards that she introduced 3 years ago.
- I said the podcasts take me so long it would be quicker for me to write a podcast. I obviously meant blog posts. I've got podcasts on the brain. Anyway, with that cleared up, the show notes are below but do take a listen to the episode above.
If you don’t follow me on social media then you probably haven’t seen my news. All my socials will be at the bottom of these show notes. I’m most active on Instagram and Facebook.
This week I was awarded the MUMS UNLTD Silver Shining Star Award
The key criteria for being selected as a finalist included clearly demonstrating their business knowledge, experience, creativity, commitment to customer care and strong evidence of business achievements. Share the award, members and the industry.
Mums Unltd is a Hertford based networking group that has expanded to include groups in Whitstable right up to Northamptonshire where I’m based. Set up originally to help mums in business network at a time more suitable for childcare and school runs, it has grown over the years to include, mums of grown-up flown the nest kids as well as a few men.
Debbie Gilbert, Founder of Mums Unltd created the Shining Awards 3 years ago to celebrate the achievements of mums in business. Her support and desire to see you succeed is evident in everything she does from her forthright no-nonsense business advice to a listening ear with tea and sympathy she is a great judge of knowing when you need which and has been a backbone to us all this year so thank you, Debbie, this year would have been harder for all of us without you and the fantastic group of women and men you have bought together.
So in light of my Silver win, which I am super proud of, I wanted to celebrate and also I wanted to celebrate you as a wedding vendor who has made it through, whether you have found it manageable or struggled through 2020 you, my friend made it and you deserve a reward for that and your business deserves a gift. So my gift to you is a very special offer that I alluded to last week.
Check out the offer here https://bit.ly/DECoffer
Now let's get into automation.
Whenever we have a break in our usual business flow taking a look at your automation is a great use of your time if you can get systems in place to work for you while your busy doing your actual business then it will just make you super-efficient
In my mind batching and automation go hand in hand so I’m going to talk about both today. I’m not perfect at this, I know what I need to do but sometimes finding the time to do it can be difficult so I’ll go through my plan for getting this working for me rather than making me feel like a failure.
So when we are thinking of putting automation into our business you want to look at what takes you the most time?
I hope that has helped you think about what takes up all your time and how you can get more efficient. Don’t forget to head over to https://bit.ly/DECoffer and come and join us inside the SPWV. The Society is there to help increase your credibility with clients by providing you with a code of conduct that shows you hold yourself to a higher standard. We have some great members benefits inside too, so I hope you take advantage of my Christmas gift to you.

This episode is a storytime episode grab a tea or coffee sit back and listen. I always say your why is important to know so this might spark some thoughts for you on your why. I also have 3 guests on giving their stories about why they wished there had been something like the society when they got married.
It's true to say you don't know what you don't know. and for young new brides to be or grooms to be they don't know what is and isn't normal behaviour and unfortunately, that's how a lot of un-professionals can end up ruining a wedding day.
The Society is here to increase the visibility of the professionals and give guidance to couples who are planning their weddings.

This week Baiju Solanki Performance Psychologist talks us through attitude, Not Attaching To Outcome (NATO) and taking control remembering it only influences results it doesn't guarantee them.
This episode contains some tough love and some high praise. As an industry, I have seen both ends of the spectrum those who seem stuck in the victim mentality and then those who have given, shared and remained positive.
I know that this pandemic has taken out many of our industry colleagues and to lose just one through no fault of their own is sad but what we choose to do how we choose to show up that's on us as individuals.

A short episode this week as I wanted to address just this one point of consistency during this messed up year.
Being consistent regardless of what is going on behind the scenes of your business is so important. It shows couples that they can rely on you and that's important to them. Whether you get help from the government or not and regardless of needing to source other work opportunities or not showing up for your business consistently through it will put you higher on the desire list for couples.
Imagine you are a bride or groom looking for a vendor you come across one that has good reviews and you go onto their Facebook and they haven't posted anything since March about weddings or haven't posted anything since March at all! Would you think that vendor was still in business and even if they were would you think they were still passionate about weddings? I have to say I wouldn't.
Now let's say you look at another vendor and they were last active yesterday and you can scroll back in their feed and see wedding images, positive quotes for couples, sympathising messages of advice for couples. Behind the scenes peeks at other things they are doing while they wait to get back to weddings. Would you have more faith that vendor would be reliable?
I know I would.
So despite lockdown 2 happening let's be consistent for our followers let's keep it upbeat and positive and focus on what we can do. Many vendors I know had already written off doing any more weddings this year with all their 2020 brides having moved to next year already so this set back shouldn't make much difference to them. What we need to focus on now is marketing and setting up our socials to receive new couples in the new year.
Don't forget now is also a great opportunity to look back at episode 002 ~ Future-Proofing your Business episode, 005 ~ Social Media Consistency, 028 ~ Content is King and 029 Giveaways for Lead Generation.
Also if you are not a member of the Society of Professional Wedding Vendors now is a great time to join we have just released our November Masterclass on Facebook ads delivered by Caz Wilson of Social Kitchen and our Optimise your Website Masterclass from October is also there ready to go through delivered by Jude Wharton of Ready Steady Website, both experts in their fields who have created these classes with wedding vendors in mind.

Giveaways online to increase your leads
We are moving towards engagement session and under normal circumstances, you'd be booking wedding fairs for January February and March. However, it's unlikely to work that way this year so instead, I want to look at how you can attract your brides and grooms using giveaways on your social channels.
Part of creating a successful giveaway is having a consistent backlog of work and information for couples to look at on your social channels. So if you missed last week's episode I'd urge you to go and listen to it and grab the download so you can start to build that consistency now.
Also this week's top tip Tuesday was on attracting your desired clients so that will work well with this too you can check that out here
So, if you follow those two pieces of content you'll have a cohesive and established look to your social media by the time engagement season starts.

Content is everywhere! We are told to have weekly content and we are told to post at least once a day on social and we are told to be consistent. But what we aren't told is without a strategy all of that is for nothing! So in this episode, we are going to look at how we can make our content work for us and how just one blog post can give us content for a whole month or more.

Our thoughts are extremely powerful they determine everything we do and everything we feel. It is therefore extremely important that we pay attention to where our thoughts are leading us because sometimes our thoughts lie to us. From convincing us that the ice cream in the freezer won't hurt even though you've committed to clean eating to more serious lies like what other people MUST be thinking of you.
Thoughts can lead to the most joyful times but also some of the most devastating. I myself have suffered from diagnosed depression and anxiety for over 20 years. Sometimes medication is the only answer, other times I manage and I have days when it doesn't affect me at all. Those are good days!
However, I understand the dark places it can take you the hopelessness it can cause and that's why today's episode was one I wanted to address. Suicidal thoughts have come and gone for me over the years I have always managed to control that thought by my unshakable belief that my daughter deserves to have a mother who is unwell but trying her best than no mum at all. Happiness comes from within but support comes from all around. We are here to support the wedding and events industry and it is my hope and the hope of my guests that these episodes will help in some small way to at the surface bring you a little peace and relaxation and at a deeper level some tools to help if you find yourself feeling extremely low and unable to cope.
If you are feeling low please reach out to someone be it a friend and family member don't feel like a burden it's what friends and family are for to help each other through. If you don't feel you can do that then please no the Samaritan helpline is there for every one call 116 123

Branding, Brand, personality, voice it can all seem a little confusing when you are trying to run a business. Sometimes that means we push it to the back burner, with more important things taking up our time. In our conversation with Lynne today we talk about what these things mean and why they are important to your bottom line.
Does your branding represent what you want it to say about you and the work you do? Do you have a hard time seeing how it all fits together? I did! it wasn't until I worked with a brand specialist that I truly saw how a brand comes together and how it can make a huge difference to not only how others see your brand but how you feel about it yourself.

Going the extra mile, going above and beyond whatever you call it today we are talking about customer care. Never underestimate the power of a kind word and a friendly smile. When we think professional it often conjures images of men in suits and stuffy boardrooms but that is not what professional is in the wedding industry. For us is combines all the professional business elements contracts, insurance, retainers etc. but they are delivered with a friendly approachable smile of someone who genuinely cares about the client and their wedding day. When you work one-on-one with clients you have the unique ability to personalise the experience and really get to know who you are serving.

COVID has been hard for everyone (well for those of us who've lost loved ones and those of us taking it seriously) and it has been especially hard for client-facing businesses retailers etc. and with that, the wedding industry which has come to a halt in a way I personally never thought I'd see.
July is the month when we are usually knee-deep into the season getting ready to forget what our families look like and loving every minute of seeing new families bonded together through their wedding vows. Sadly this isn't possible this year.
Instead, I have created a 21 Day Challenge to help reset ourselves in our businesses so we can regain our focus and go into the last 6months of 2020 in a positive way ready? Get Set let's go!

In this week's episode, we look at ways to keep your clients coming back to you again and again. There is a saying that keeping a happy client is easier than gaining a new one and this is true. Yet in the wedding industry, we serve our clients once and more often than not that's all she wrote.
We can make so much more of our client with a little effort on our part and that little effort I believe will lead to much more ease in gaining new clients as your current clients will be much more likely to remember to recommend you if you are continuously serving them.
If you want to find out how you can make couples clients for life without them having to get divorced this is the episode for you.

Many wedding vendors are solo entrepreneurs and this means we wear all the hats, Admin, marketing, finance, accounting, tax returns, social media manager, on top of the trade you provide to couples for their big day. Sometimes this can get a little overwhelming! So let's talk about how outsourcing can help lighten the load and give you more freedom to stay in your zone of genius doing what you love. Outsourcing may be something you have thought of and disregarded as an expense you can't afford but if you give a job away that takes you 3 hours and that job only takes them 1 because it's their zone of genius, not yours. then you're paying for 1hr to get back three and over the course of a year, I'd say that's well worth it.

Knowing how to price yourself is one of the big stumbling blocks for many business owners not just those in the industry.

With this episode, I have a fantastic calculator that will do all the hard bits for you. You just need to add up what you need and tell it how many weddings you want to service each year and it will tell you what you need to charge based on what you input.
